Otley chuchyard incident was a 'false alarm'

An incident that saw Otley's Parish Church cordoned off last weekend has been declared a false alarm. Police were called to All Saints Parish Church at 12.30am on Saturday after passers-by had reported seeing a woman who appeared to be in trouble, and was walking unsteadily, in the vicinity. Officers spoke to her to make sure she was all right and the churchyard was taped off overnight and into Saturday morning as investigations continued. The police say they are satisfied that no crime took place.
